      The code for both roof-types is very similar, so I can't see why the hipped one fails.
      However, it was easily fixed: I deleted the top face and drew over a single edge, so that SketchUp added back the face - as explained in the error-message sometimes a face's edge-order/loop-direction becomes confused in the SKP's data-base.
      That replacement face then made a hipped roof without any difficulty...

          Have you tried ^55" ?
          EDIT: Forget that.
          It's nothing to do with it per se, although it only manifests itself using ^Height...
          There's a weird typo in the gable making code which I need to resolve...

            Here's v5.0 https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Roof It fixes a typo in the Gable by ^Height code which caused a failure.
            this was a long standing typo, which has taken several years to find and be reported on !

            The code is also re-signed for v2018 compatibility...

                  A localizable version named Roof-LH.rbz is now available. (LanguageHandler)
                  French strings included.
                  Please note that this is not a full version since 'Layers & materials' options have been removed from it.
                  Available on http://www.formation-sketchup.quebec

                  if requested I can also load it in the PluginStore.
                  Happy new year all.

                    Hi dear author, I tried the 'pick-three-point' to create a gable roof, but after the last click there is no menu come out. Do you have any suggestion. BTW, only 'select from face' options are still workable.
                    Cheers.
                    Charles.

                      The 3 points must all be in a horizontal plane [say the top of walls?]
                      1 & 2 defining the width of the gable triangle and then 3 sets the length of the eaves...
                      If you run it with the Ruby Console do you see any error messages ?

                          It works fine in v2018 and in v2019.
                          It's already fully signed and compatible with all current SketchUp versions.
                          A few posts back [at the end of 2017] I posted to say v5.0 was now compatible with v2018 !
                          I just hadn't updated details on its main page...
                          Now done.

                              If you get the latest version of 'Roof' from the PluginStore, then it should be fully signed and compatible for all current SketchUp versions...

                              Where did your problem version come from ?


                              Notwithstanding that - in reality the 'validity' of the extension's signature [or it even being 'unsigned'] doesn't matter very much.

                              If you have download an extension's RBZ from a trusted source [like EWH, SketchUcation, or a well known developer's web-site], then that RBZ might be somewhat old and therefore it's not been re-signed for some newer versions of SketchUp, BUT it is very probable that it will still work in those newer versions.

                              It's a PITA to get everything recompiled into an RBZ, and submit it to SketchUp's portal to get the latest signature added, then republish it: older extensions that haven't needed updating to suit changes in the newer SketchUp's Ruby API, will often have out of date signatures, or might even be 'unsigned'.
                              With 'free' extensions it's unreasonable to expect authors to re-sign everything, at every update...

                              The global fix is easy - to allow you to load and use these older plugins and extensions... simply set your SketchUp > Window > Extension Manager > Loading Policy to be 'Unrestricted'.
                              After you restart SketchUp and previously 'blocked' extensions will be loaded and be available for use...

                                It's great plugin. Thanks!
                                But... is there a chance for a Gambrel option?
                                Will be glad for any info!

                                  It's an old Plugin, unlikely to have any major changes...

                                  There's already a 'Mansard' option - this allows you two roof pitches per slope - to make a Mansard or Sprocketed roof form.

                                  If you want your own kind of 'Gambrel' roof [which I think is called a 'Mansard' roof in many other locales], then you can edit a simpler roof form - and manually add/erase the necessary changes ?

                                    What am I missing?? I've installed V5.0 and still can't get hipped roof to work in either 2018 or 2019 on my MacBook Pro. I've followed your Help instructions, but nothing seems to work. I can generate gable end and pyramids, but no hips or mansards. HELP!!

                                      Have you run it with the Ruby Console open to see if there are any error messages ?

                                      The face you use to make the outline of the hipped roof cannot be at z=0...

                                      Draw a shape on the ground [z=0], then extrude it upwards using PushPull.
                                      Now select just the top face of the geometry and run the Hipped Roof tool...
                                      Any luck ?

                                        When I ran it with the Ruby Console open, there were no error messages and the Plugin worked just fine in both 2018 and 2019. Some kind of long-distance sorcery from you, no doubt. Thanks.

                                          For me, it doesnt work.

                                          When I run the program, it exits or closes.

                                            Please explain more details.
                                            Is this problem in v2017 ?
                                            If you run it with the Ruby Console open are there any error messages ?
                                            There are several tools with the 'Roof' set: which one is causing the problem ?
                                            When you say 'it exits' do you mean it just doesn't do any thing, or that SketchUp itself closes ?
                                            No error messages at all ??

                                            Are you using the tool as the usage notes explain ?
                                            e.g. the flat face forming the outline for the hipped roof tool cannot be at z=0, and it is possible to devise a face that cannot accept a hipped roof - but then an error message should tell you that...
